Yes- someone was sending you a public invitation to join the conversation.

My daughters room is bedecked in the rainbow line from pottery barn kids, which had posted about pride , alluding to their merch.

I feel gross about my daughter sleeping amongst design that was created with LGBQT agendas.

Would you bite the bullet and buy new bedding?

If they had not posted about pride would this bother you so much?

I don't think OP is afraid rainbow sheets will make her child gay, she just doesn't want something that reminds her of sin in the house.

Like how you might not want your child to have a Ted Bundy doll, but doesn't mean you're afraid it will turn your kid into Ted Bundy.

This. Thank you for explaining for me, I was trying to figure out how to word this.

I would not get rid of the linen since the rainbow is part of our heritage and represents Hashems forgiveness but I do find it interesting that the LGBQT community chose a religious symbol to represent them considering that its against religion to be gay. That said, there is a christian movement to take back the rainbow, not sure if they will succeed--

It had been irking me for a while actually but I kept pushing out of my head. And then they posted which made me feel worse.

If it wasn't tied to deviant sexyual practices, then it wouldn't bother her at all.

A rainbow is too broad of a thing and too inherently nuetral for it to be associated with only one group. Even if a group tries to co-opt it as their symbol. Should I also stop making rainbow cake?

Had I previously been using rainbow sheets I would only stop if the children themselves make the association.

On this note, I just remembered a funny story. As a teen I wanted my mother to buy me this adorable backpack with a picture of a bunny on it. She freaked out when I showed it to her.
Turns out it was a playboy bunny symbol.
I had no idea what she had against bunnies LOL

Yes. They even get their own special Bracha. Or should we stop saying that too. 🤔

Maybe we need to ban reading that parsha too as it alludes to a rainbow? 🌈 🌈

I would keep rainbow bedding and decor. Like someone else said, it might be more iffy if you're talking about clothes or accessories she might wear outside (though even then, it's unlikely to be misconstrued if it's like, a picture of a rainbow with fluffy clouds or pots of gold on the ends).

I think in the future, you might want to be more careful about about where you're buying rainbow stuff from, especially during the month of June (which is pride month). If your local frum store is selling cute rainbow-y stuff, they're just selling cute rainbow-y stuff. Target, on the other hand, has a whole line of rainbow products davka for supporting Pride and a portion of the proceeds from those products go toward LGBTQ causes. If this matters to you, you should be more concerned with who's selling rainbow products than the rainbows themselves.

I saw the pottery barn rainbow collection and it looks like it’s more pastel colors. It doesn’t remind me at all of their flag, which is brighter colors.

It isn’t. The rainbow is tied to acceptance and equality. I am not sure why you are bringing “deviant” s-x into the picture here. Please save those details for the intimacy section.

I can direct you to some delicious kosher rainbow cake. Though come to think of it someone needs to protest.
